Geert Bevin will present on technologies that extend the capabilities of the Java programming language. The presentation will cover Terracotta for clustering Java applications, RIFE continuations for pausing and resuming application state, Google Web Toolkit for developing web applications, and Google Android for developing mobile applications. By leveraging these technologies, Java applications can be developed that go beyond the standard Java platform.
